'I feel for all our fans who came out tonight. It wasn't good enough for us tonight.

'The Wallabies must have been taking notes from the Boomers this morning,' another fan wrote.

But despite the dismal performance on home soil, bookmaker William Hill was seemingly nonplussed.

'Wallabies down 32-3 at half-time. Who cares, Modern Pentathlon is our national sport now,' they tweeted.

Making the loss even worse was worrying injuries to Matt Giteau (ankle), Matt Toomua (neck/head) and Rob Horne (shoulder).

New Zealand's record-breaking victory came 12 hours after it emerged that a listening device had been planted at the All Blacks' hotel in Sydney, with police investigating.
